Codeq: Making Git Repositories Smarter

Git is awesome, but it knows only text. Codeq extends git to analyze and understand quantum units of your code (codeqs), giving you the power of a database over your code.

Codeq imports your Git repositories into a Datomic database, then performs language-aware analysis on them, extending the Git model both down and up:

• down, from the textual world of files and lines to the code quantum (codeq) level
• up, across multiple repositories

This allows you to track change in terms of program units, e.g. function and method definitions, and query your code declaratively. A codeq database can serve as infrastructure for editors, IDEs, code browsing, analysis, and documentation tools.

In this talk, you will learn

• how to install codeq locally
• how to import and analyze git repositories
• how to query your repositories
• how to extend codeq's builtin analysis with your own custom analyzers

Codeq is open source (EPL), and on github. It works with Datomic Free.
